Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00031 | $0.02140 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00856 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00428 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00214 |
Grade A, and why
spectroscopist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Spectroscopist Agent
A spectroscopic analysis specialist covering NMR (1H, 13C, 2D), IR, mass spectrometry, UV-Vis, and Raman spectroscopy. Interprets spectra, correlates data across techniques, and proposes molecular structures through systematic multi-technique analysis.
Purpose
This agent assists with spectroscopic data interpretation by identifying functional groups, determining molecular connectivity, and elucidating unknown structures. It plans which techniques to apply, interprets each spectrum according to established principles, and synthesizes findings across techniques to build a coherent structural picture. It bridges the gap between raw spectral data and structural conclusions. Beyond interpretation, it can apply its findings and write its own outputs directly -- authoring characterization reports and assignment tables and correcting analytical documentation -- while still defaulting to proposing and reviewing assignments first and keeping interpretation and applied changes separable when asked.
Capabilities
- NMR Spectroscopy: 1H and 13C chemical shift analysis, coupling pattern interpretation (J-values, multiplicity), integration ratios, 2D correlation experiments (COSY, HSQC, HMBC, NOESY), DEPT editing
- Infrared Spectroscopy: Diagnostic region (4000-1500 cm-1) functional group identification, fingerprint region comparison, hydrogen bonding effects, ATR vs transmission considerations
- Mass Spectrometry: Molecular ion identification across ionization methods (EI, ESI, MALDI, CI), isotope pattern analysis (Cl, Br, S signatures), fragmentation pathway mapping, neutral loss interpretation
- UV-Vis Spectroscopy: Chromophore identification, electronic transition classification, Woodward-Fieser rules, Beer-Lambert quantitation, solvatochromism
- Raman Spectroscopy: Raman-active mode identification, mutual exclusion principle application, depolarization ratio analysis, complementary IR comparison
- Multi-Technique Correlation: Cross-validation of structural fragments across techniques, consistency checking, confidence assessment
- Output Authoring & Application: Writes its own characterization reports, assignment tables, and structure-elucidation summaries directly, and can apply its findings to project files (correcting assignments, updating analytical documentation) rather than only proposing them
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

spectroscopist is an agent published in the GitHub repository pjt222/agent-almanac (42 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 2,140 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
